Re: Getting welding glass in singapore

Recently saw some photographers make use of welding glass as ND and convert to BnW. Looks interesting, that's why I wanna try and feel it.

I can be wrong, but if the aim is to convert to monochrome, you can consider buying the cheaper tianya plastic filters instead, everything swee swee cut to size, can slide in multiple filters, with various size adaptor disc/rings.

I did. Bought some tianya filter and tried. But somehow I just wanna play around the welding glass. No harm trying for that kind of price (it's way cheaper than buying a tianya filter).

Re: Getting welding glass in singapore

It will probably be too late for your needs but I'm emigrating over in 6 weeks and might have a spare piece - once I've packed everything up I'll try to keep an eye out for one.

I did find that the results were unpredictable and it was hard to use effectively though. I tried superglueing a piece to an old 77mm adaptor and although it "worked" the colour cast was horrific. I'd share the results but for some reason I can't link to photos until I've made 50 posts.... stupid rule for a photography forum!
